of course I understand this. But this is not case of small (and recent) LIRs. I have no problem with filling of missing informations, but this my discussion is about informations already contained in RIPE database.
The key point is that "this information is *not* in the RIPE DB" for a large number of end user resources. Take our own AS, for example. It lists our company name, sure, but it was requested 10 years ago via another LIR, as we have not been a LIR ourselves then. So it's quite important to check with that other LIR to make sure who is taking responsibility for it (they won't, we will) and make sure that the database information really is accurate. For many younger LIRs, the data might be perfectly accurate, but it's much less effort for everybody if the RIPE NCC just gives every LIR the opportunity to say "this is ours, this is not ours" first (which takes 10 minute per LIR) - and *then* the real work for the NCC starts, finding out what to do about all the resources that are tagged as "not ours". I think it would be a waste of our money if the NCC would hire 20 extra staff members to sort out through all these details for 5000 LIRs if it can be done with a 10-minute effort at every individual LIR.
